Receiving unsolicited nude pics on social media is part of the reality of owning a smart phone, say teenagers
The popularity of social media apps like Snapchat and Instagram has seen unsolicited nude photos reaching the inboxes of high school students as young as 13, so what can parents — and policymakers — do about it?
Some teenagers feel the practice has become normalised and is now a part of the reality of owning a smart phone.
Ruby De Rover, who finished high school on the NSW far south coast last year, said she believed that every girl in her school past Year 9 would have received an unwanted "nude" or had an interaction of that kind.
She was 15 when she first received an unwanted photo on Instagram.
"There was no introduction, no message, just a 'dick pic'," she said.
"It's come to a point where it's just normal and a part of what happens."
Bronnie Taylor, a Member of the New South Wales Legislative Council, was involved in the introduction of revenge porn laws, and has also been working to introduce nurses into schools so young people feel they have someone to talk to.
Ms Taylor said young women did not have enough options and there needed to be a push for laws punishing abusive behaviour.
"Sometimes the only option is to go to the police and ask for an Apprehended Violence Order [AVO] and that's something that can be really daunting for a 16-year-old," she said.
"We need to stand up as policymakers and as a community and say that this is not okay."
The laws differ from state to state and because the photographs are being shared between minors, legislation enters 'child pornography' territory.
For example, in Queensland, Western Australia and NSW there are laws against the possession, production and dissemination of pornographic material if that material depicts someone under 16 years old.
In the Australian Capital Territory, the Northern Territory, Tasmania, and Victoria the legislation relates to material depicting a person under 18 years of age.
Ahram Choi from Youth Law Australia said under Commonwealth law, it was illegal for anyone under 18 to snap a nude picture of themselves, whether they sent it or not, meaning a nude selfie could technically be classed as possession of child pornography.
Janet Wight from the Youth Advocacy Centre said online harassment laws were outdated and criminalised young people rather than dealing with the core issues.
"We need a nuanced response to fix this situation and I don't think criminal law is the way to do that," Ms Wight said.
"The law is not enough to change behaviours. We need to be really clear about what is non-consensual and inappropriate."
Ms Choi also said that legal action was a tricky path to go down in terms of achieving justice for victims or solving the issues at hand.
She said there had been cases targeting the spread of revenge porn material but she had not seen a case involving a charge against someone sending a one-off 'dick pic', only when harassment continued over a long period of time.
"I think it's really important to have updated laws that target abusive online behaviour," Ms Choi said.
"I don't think going through the criminal system is necessarily the best way to deal with this, especially when you're dealing with minors."
High school student Pearl Mitchell said a cultural change and education were needed, rather than criminalising young people.
"Our society teaches us some weird things about sex and masculinity," she said.
"We need a massive cultural shift and realistic sex education programs that don't just involve cartoon reproductive videos."
Sex educator Natasha Gillezeau said accepting social media was part of people's sexual experience was the key to delivering successful education programs.
"During my work I've found that kids are hesitant to talk to adults because we tend to jump instantly on the anti-social media bandwagon," she said.
"We need to teach boys to connect in ways that isn't at the cost of women's emotional health and physical sexual safety."
Ms De Rover said switching off your phone was not the solution.
"Parents and teachers act like this is surprising, but casual sexual harassment existed in their day too, it was just done differently," she said.
"Social media is not the devil here. We need to think a lot more deeply about how and why they think it's okay."
Having worked with a number of adolescents, Ms Gillezeau has some theories about the pressure that is placed on boys in high school.
"There can be this social capital that is gained from being 'one of the boys'," she said.
"They're thinking about themselves and how other boys see them more than they're thinking about the women or the teenagers they're potentially trying to connect with."
Similarly, 17-year-old Jaxsen said that sex and girls were hot conversation topics for boys in high school.
He said a lot of it was about asserting their manhood or finding their place.
"You get the impression that it's them trying to validate themselves and it's more about them trying to prove themselves to the group," Jaxsen said.
High schooler Brogan Drasic said he grew up surrounded by a "bro-dudey" culture that he believed paved the way for this kind of behaviour.
"You're more likely to fit in with the 'top dogs' if you're making it sound like girls are just there to have sex with them," he said.

A Boston high school has been hit with a nude photo scandal after photos featuring up to 50 female students in 'varying degrees of undress' were posted on Dropbox.
Police said many of the photos of the Duxbury High School students appear to be selfies and said the girls' names also appeared on the Dropbox page, which has since been shut down.
A student who feared she was on the list informed school officials of the page's existence the file sharing and storage website on Wednesday.
Investigators immediately had the San Francisco-based company take the page down, and have since served a search warrant on the site to determine through forensic testing who created the page in the first place.
Duxbury High School (pictured) in Boston found itself in the midst of a nude photo scandal this week after photos featuring up to 50 female students in 'varying degrees of undress' were posted on a Dropbox webpage
Duxbury Police Chief Matthew Clancy said it appears the selfies were sent to boyfriends and there is no indication any of the photos were taken of the girls without their consent.
Authorities added that some of the photos appear to be fake, according to CBS Boston .
The girls' parents were contacted by investigators and the students have been asked to verify whether they are featured in any of the photos.
Counseling was being provided on Friday to the affected girls, according to WCVB .
'At the end of the day, these are children and they've made a mistake,' Clancy said at a news conference on Wednesday.
'We're clearly identifying these girls as victims, because that's what they are.'
Clancy said police are 'aggressively' going after who created the page.
'We're coming after them,' he said. 'We're going to pull out all the stops and hold them accountable. That's our focus right now.'
It could take weeks for Dropbox to give authorities data that might help them find the page's creator, according to the Boston Herald .

Clancy said the page's creator could face possession and distribution of child pornography charges, which carries a minimum sentence of 10 years in prison under Massachusetts law.
Police are also joining forces with the school to educate students about the consequences that come with sharing nude photos of themselves or others.
'Kids don't really understand that that once these images are out there, there's no way to make them go away,' Clancy said.
'Once they're out there, they're out there, and there's no turning back. Anything they do on the internet is forever.'
Doxbury Schools Superintendent Dr Ben Tantillo said the incident has been a lesson for the students.
'We would hope that our young girls understand that there are other ways to be popular,' he said.
'And we want our boys to know that this is not an appropriate way to treat women.'

Commentator Robin Washington recounts a time when students were required to take swimming lessons in school; but at his school, students had to swim naked. Washington is editorial page editor of The Duluth News Tribune in Duluth, Minn.
With high temperatures across the country, it's easy to want to wear as little as possible. But commentator Robin Washington warns, be careful what you wish for. During swimming class in high school, he was required to wear the most revealing and drafty garment of all: his birthday suit.
Did you ever dream that you were completely naked in front of dozens of people? I'm reminded of that after hearing the University of North Carolina is getting rid of its swimming requirement. It's one of the last universities to do so.
Good for them, but if Carolina students think their role is tough, they should've been with me in high school, in Chicago, in the 1970s. At dear old Lane Tech, or any public high school, swimming was absolutely required, naked.
What, I can hear most of you saying. And it's a response, you'd get used to if you went to Lane somewhere between the 1940s, or even earlier, until the late 70s.
Glen Galen(ph), who graduated in 1969, started a discussion on the classmates.com message board a few years ago asking why did they do that to us? Actually, we weren't completely naked, you did get to wear a bathing cap. And if you were a beginning, even an inner tube.
My fellow class of '75 alum, Dave Garrett(ph), recalled the rule had something to do with hygiene. Dave and I were both skinny Black kids and members of the Chess Club at the mostly white school. But for once in America, race truly didn't matter.
Everyone was naked before God and each other. All of the boys, that is. Lane Tech didn't become co-ed until 1971, and for the first few years, girls at the school didn't have to take swimming at all. They did at every other public high school in Chicago, and those girls were required to wear bathing suits. Needless to say, the classes were not co-ed.
Though none of us got a straight answer beyond the hygiene thing, I wonder if it wasn't some kind of right of passage. Boys, after all, have gone skinny-dipping for years. But requiring nudity at a public school these days would be lawsuit city.
Nude swimming wasn't limited to Chicago schools, and I bet swim class veterans of a certain age are nodding their heads across the country.
Here in Minnesota, Mike Rosenzweig(ph) said in the 60s, he had to swim stark naked in junior high. On the first day, he said, the gym teacher asked the class, who here didn't bring his birthday suit. Mike raised his hand. And though most of the boys were not Jewish, all except a couple were circumcised.
Mike and his friends couldn't help but stare at the ones that weren't and wondered, what the hell happened to him? Maybe he got it slammed in the door when he was a little baby?
Okay. Somebody has to know why millions of boys across the country were forced to endure such shame. But a Chicago public school spokeswoman just answered, excuse me? Her counterpart in Duluth, Katie Kaufmann(ph), was much nicer. She'd never heard of it either, but she did find a document recording the end of the practice.
It read: Be it hereby resolved, that the Duluth School District include in its 1973-74 budget, an amount th
